The will of God prevails. In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both ‘may' be, and one ‘must' be, wrong. God cannot be ‘for' and ‘against' the same thing at the same time. In the present civil war it is quite possible that God's purpose is something different from the purpose of either party — and yet the human instrumentalities, working just as they do, are of the best adaption to effect His purpose.
